The $2,000 annual awards are available to Albion College students who will be sophomores, juniors or seniors during the next academic year.

PurposeThe purpose of the Project 250 Award is to encourage students to contribute to significant improvements of self, campus, and community, both in and out of the classroom. Award recipients will be determined:
